Chapter 192 Robbery, Success
The Marines living at this Marine base all knew that the base they were stationed at was somewhat special.
Although no superior had ever revealed anything, the Marines still discovered some special aspects of this base from their daily circumstances.
They almost never went on external duties. Even when receiving distress signals from ships in nearby waters, they would only forward them to other Marine bases and then act as if nothing had happened.
Besides this, opportunities for external contact were extremely scarce. It was even difficult to call home, and even if they were lucky enough to get such an opportunity, it had to be done under a superior's supervision.
If there wasn't something wrong with this, it would be strange.
Moreover, there was a restricted area in the base that was forbidden to approach. Anyone who wasn't an idiot could guess that something was definitely hidden in that restricted area, and it was very likely the reason for this base's existence.
But these were just topics for casual conversation. For ordinary Marine soldiers, these matters held no meaning for them. Instead, this kind of peaceful life wasn't bad.
Then today, this peaceful life was broken.
Brett floated in the seawater near the island, quietly watching this island.
His Observation Haki had already been released.
To this day, while Brett's Observation Haki hadn't yet reached the level of foreseeing the future, both its range and precision had made qualitative leaps.
Now when he fully deployed his Observation Haki, he could easily cover this entire island ahead and precisely hear every sound.
He had locked onto the presence of everyone in this Marine base.
Then—
Brett's eyes suddenly narrowed, and black lightning suddenly spread out from his body, rampaging freely through this area of seawater.
The seawater exploded instantly, and Brett forcibly created a vacuum in the water.
Higher up, a huge bulge appeared on the sea surface, then wave after wave began undulating on the sea!
But unfortunately, none of the Marines in the island base noticed the wave changes on the sea surface.
The moment Brett released his aura, first the Marines on the coast fainted.
Then gradually moving inward, regardless of age or gender, all the Marine soldiers rolled their eyes back, foamed at the mouth, trembled all over, and fainted instantly.
Brett confirmed the sounds he heard.
After this wave of Conqueror's Haki, very few Marines remained conscious. No, it should be said that very few living beings in this base retained consciousness.
The intensity of Conqueror's Haki increased in sync with the user's strength enhancement.
Then—
Brett shot into the air, almost instantly flying out of the sea surface, then falling toward that island.
He landed gently on the silent Marine base coast, racing forward among a group of unconscious Marine soldiers.
The sturdy gate of the Marine base, which wasn't even open, couldn't hinder him at all—he kicked it away with one foot.
The next problem was finding where the Dyna Stones were hidden.
This base was quite large.
At the same moment Brett had already penetrated the base's interior, deep within this base, in the base commander's office.
The Marine base commander stationed here was covered in sweat. His face was pale and his hands trembled as he took out a Den Den Mushi and tried to dial.
But—
"Damn it!"
He cursed through gritted teeth.
Even the Den Den Mushi had fainted and couldn't be used normally.
This vice admiral base commander's face was twisted. "Such Conqueror's Haki!!!"
Even counting throughout the entire world, you couldn't find many people with this level.
Who was it?
Had one of the sea emperors come?
Damn it, his target must be the Dyna Stones!
He absolutely couldn't let them get the stones.
So—
The base commander's eyes sharpened.
Thinking this, he sprang up and rushed out of his office like lightning, heading toward the vault storing the Dyna Stones.
Someone with that level of Conqueror's Haki intensity was definitely not someone he could oppose.
This base had fallen. Rather than watch that guy take the Dyna Stones, he would detonate them instead. Under the chain explosions, no matter what kind of monster, they couldn't survive such an explosion.
This was the resolve he had made from the first day he became this base's commander, and it was also the will of headquarters and the government.
No matter what, the Dyna Stones absolutely could not fall into outsiders' hands.
His office was near the vault. Soon he reached that incredibly heavy door made of special alloy. He tried to stop his hands from trembling, then went to input the door's password.
The password was very long, but the base commander had already memorized it thoroughly. After a flurry of inputs, the heavy door opened.
Behind the door was a brightly lit, spacious room.
Three walls were covered with countless small compartments.
The base commander knew better than anyone that each compartment contained one Dyna Stone.
Now he just needed to—
"Thank you very much for showing the way."
Such a voice suddenly came from behind.
The base commander was shocked, but he didn't hesitate at all, rushing into the room like a gust of wind.
But someone was faster than him. The base commander only felt thunder roaring in his ears, his body wracked with pain from the electrical current that passed by him. When he looked up, a tall man was already blocking his path.
"You are—!!"
The base commander's eyes instantly widened.
He recognized the man before him.
Even wrapped in lightning, even wearing a long robe that concealed his form, in the bright light, his features weren't unclear.
"Fish-man Brett!!"
He screamed and lunged at Brett, the long sword at his waist already unsheathed. "Have you betrayed the government?"
Brett neither dodged nor avoided, letting this man's blade strike his body. "There was never any loyalty, so how could there be betrayal?"
The base commander despaired.
Even though this man wasn't using Armament Haki for defense, his proud slashing attack couldn't break through this man's skin defense at all.
He couldn't even leave a mark on this man's body.
Brett clenched his fist.
Then threw a punch.
Bang.
The next instant, this base commander was already twisted and deeply embedded in the incredibly solid metal floor.
"It's not good to think about mutual destruction whenever you encounter problems."
Brett sighed. "At least consider the subordinates in the base."
After sighing briefly, Brett looked up and surveyed his surroundings.
So this was the sound of Dyna Stones?
Brett's mouth curved upward.
Now his first trump card was finally in hand.
